Młynik ( German  Lasken ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and belongs to the Gmina (rural community) Sorkwity ( German  Sorquitten ) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ).

Geographical location

Młynik is located on the southern eastern bank of the Jezioro Gielądzkie ( German  Gehlandsee ) in the middle of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship , eight kilometers west of the district town of Mrągowo ( German  Sensburg ).

history

The place called Lasker Mühle before 1785 consisted of a chief forester's office with small farms that belonged to the Sorquitten Forest until 1945. It was founded around 1600. In 1785 Lasker Mühle was mentioned as a "noble water mill with three fireplaces". From 1874 to 1945 Lasken was incorporated into the Sorquitten district ( Sorkwity in Polish ), which belonged to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Lasken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Lasken, 60 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

As a result of the war, Lasken came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Młynik”. Today it is a village within the rural municipality of Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
